This from Superbike Magazine's website:

"The Proton team was testing at Valencia over the weekend and had sent out Kurtis on their best bike, the only one they had. Kurtis, who's been going not too bad, proceeded to highside the beast, splitting the tank and watching as the bike turned into a pile of molten metal.

There was only one marshall on the track with a fire extinguisher, who was on his lunch at the time, since the bike burned a trench in the track surface. To be fair, Kurtis looked distraught. Probably because he knew his dad was going to ground him or take away his pocket money. "
